Wikis are used as a reference for games that help people with the game. People check wikis because they want to know how to catch Pokémon, where they are caught, and other information like EV training, breeding, etc.

If you want to get information updated, just follow a page and turn on notifications for that, email or browser (Gamepedia has that). Or bookmark a wiki.

A simple move to another host is just for the benefit of the wiki as it is much easier to request namespaces, customize things, etc.
